- Decided to fit a aftermarket M-sport bumper on my 2018 BMW F32.
The bumper is a M-sport look bumper from the brand Goodgo. It came with most parts needed, only reused BMW badge and fog lights from the old bumper.
Before installing the M-sport bumper instead of the regular one, we fitted a Maxton Design GTS front lip in gloss black.
Any questions about the install, feel free to ask :)

That looks really good!! I have a white 4 series and plan to get a front bumper soon! The lip makes it so much better too! Keep up the work!
Looks Clean!
Nice car! keep up to good work:D
Thanks :D Still plenty of work to do on the car. Never ending hobby
Beautiful!!!
You can also install the m performance side skirts and then is the car very Nice
I did install the M-sport sideskirts. But never got around to install the M-Performance sticker or extensions. But they do transform the car.
That front bumper looks great and love the BMW paintwork in white with that sweet lower lip ! Have you thought about putting on the M sport side skirts cos it really does finish the look off including the rear diffuser, but still looks nice without too ! Do u have speed humps in Denmark as in the UK which can be a little tricky so I’m a little concerned of lowering it to be honest !
Have fitted the M-sport sideskirts now. Only missing the Performance extentions below the sideskirts. They look a lot better. Might already have them fitted in this video.
We do have speed humps in Denmark and with the lowering I got, it has not been a problem so far.
Nice one mate
Thanks mate :-)
Hi, I’m looking to modify my 2018 bmw 430i gran coupe the same way you did your vehicle. Does the same bumper you used fit my vehicle?
The bracket metal thing under the air duct you showed, can you send a link for that one. and is it possible to keep the bar you took of that cross the duct too? I dont think its meant to have taken inner parts off to have a bumper on. And especially the foam bar too. so what did you do at the end, some links would be perfect :)
I love what you did, and you convinced me to do the same mod.
How did you handle the painting of the new bumper? Is there a such thing as prepainted bumpers?
Also, what did you do with the old bumper?
Thank you for your advice!
Also, appreciate if you know a dealer in south west Florida.
Thank you for the kind words. The mod does change the whole front and makes it a lot more sporty.
I had a paintshop handle the paint. They can colormatch with the current color of your BMW and get a very close match.
You might be able to get et pre painted from some venders. But it will always be risky, since your color may have faded over the years depending on the age.
My old bumper i have for sale online and should be able to get it sold.
Do you mind me asking where you purchased the bumper? I’m trying get the same one for my 4 series
love it! I have a question, the old fog lamps fits in the new bumper or you need new ones?
Yea the fog lights are the same on the m-sport.
Hey! I have one question, did you really have to put on new brake ducts or was it on the old bumper car? I plan to buy a bumper so i'm interested.
Nice work🙂
Yes you need to use the new brake ducts. I got mine with the aftermarket bumper as a whole kit. They are in a different location, than the old bumper. So you will need to use them. They are easy to change and come with most aftermarket kits. If you go with genuine BMW you will have to order them on the side.
Thanks for the kind word :-)
@@BMWORKZ Thanks man!🙂
Love the video! I'm planning on doing this soon just one question was it a case of getting the bumper, airducts and the bottom 3 grill pieces or is there more parts required. I know you transfer your grills along with the part that sits between the grills
Hello Mick,
It is a very nice change to the car, makes it look a lot more sporty. Since I got a aftermarket bumper, everything needed was in the kit. If you decide to go with a genuine BMW bumper you will need to purchase all parts on the side. Since a genuine BMW bumper does not come with anything.
@@BMWORKZ would you be able to tell me what was in the kit
In the kit i got the bumper, Fog light grills L+R with trim covers, Center grill, Cover tow hook, Covers for spray nozzle, Mount for fog light L+R, Brake ducts L+R, Adapter piece for underhood shield.
@@BMWORKZ thank you for the info I'm getting each piece separately as it's working out cheaper
@@BMWORKZ did you also the the radiator air duct or can you keep the original
Amazing look on this car, where can I get that bumper cause I’d like to get the same exact kit and what does fit on my Gran coupe?
You should be able to find the kit many places. Depends on where in the world you are. Very expensive to ship, so try to find it local
Is it really necessary to change the airducks ?
1. Will the bumper fit without adjusting the hood?
2. Is there a from bumper with the complete full bottom grill. (I’m not really a fan of the openings on the left and right) but still looks great!!
3. Did you use a discount code when purchasing it?
1. Yes the bumper will still fit. I just needed to adjust the hight if the bumper in the front. Took 5 minutes to do.
2. There is quite a few different designs. But most bumpers will have the openings on either side.
3. I work with BMW spare parts and tuning, so picked it up at work :)
BMWORKZ Thanks a lot! Means a lot
Also anywhere you recommend getting a nice front lip from? And Not so expensive?
There is a ton of nice lips. If you want easy fitment. You should pick a abs plast version. They can bend more than carbon and usually are way cheaper. There is more than 10 different lips, so all a question about what you like the most.
nice car, what is the model # on that lip it's nice. something I've been looking for.
Thanks. The lip is made by Maxton Design - They offer two versions. One single part like the one i have fitted or a dual splitter with an extra lower lip.

Hi there! Very nice upgrade! I watched the video carefully, hoping to find an answer to the question that I have. ETK says there are 4 brackets on the bumper or on the fender - 2 on each side. Did you use the ones from the old bumper? I didn't see them during the disassembly. Any idea? Here are the part numbers - 51-11-7-255-361/2, 51-11-7-279-711/2. The last digit changes for the left and right sides. Thanks in advance!
Hello Farid,
I am not fully sure what i did here. I think they may have been included with the new bumper i got. Don't recall moving them from the old bumper to the new one. But they are the same brackets from normal to M-sport bumper, so you should be able to use your old ones without any problems. The part numbers you have listed are for F30/31 only, so if you have a 4-series they will be different.
@@BMWORKZ Thanks a lot, mate! If you do not remember taking them out from the old bumper, then there are 3 options. 1st - new bumper had that brackets. 2nd - you put new bumper on w/o that brackets. 3rd - that brackets are located on fenders. I think I shall disassemble the bumper to find the truth 🙂 Again, thanks for the reply. Have a good time!
Where can I get one for my 2019 440i
Nice car! How is the maxton front lip? Not to low? Hitting the speedbumps?
Hello Johan, For the price i think it is great. The finish has hold up great to the weather. I do not find it too low. My car is also only lowered 25/20MM. If lowered more you may have problems hitting speedbumps. But with my current height, there is no problem.
Great video. Can you please leave a link from where you bought the kit. I cannot seem to find it. Thank you
Thank you for the kind word. Where are you from? Then i can check if a dealer near you got it. Shipping is very expensive for such a kit and i got it local to me in Denmark.
BMWORKZ I live in California, United States
@@richythind1747 Then you have a few options. The cheapest will likely be Ebay or Amazon. If you got a F32, you just look for F32 bumper kit. Most dealers will not call it M-sport due to legal stuff. But most aftermarket bumpers come from the same place. The brand I got is called GoodGo and made in Taiwan.
If you need further help there are some big dealers in US, ECSTuning(Turnermotorsport). More local I know of European Auto Source in Anaheim 92807.
Where did you get it?
Side skirts on The video are m sports or normal ? I Thinking abaut change my front bumper to m sport but im not sure how will be look car with m sport front bumper and custom side skirts and back bumper
The ones in the video are M-sport. Changed them from normal. They are a bit more curve. The normal are almost just plain. Don’t think it will look strange if you keep the normal ones.
Hejsa..Tak for en super god video..er du tilfreds med kvaliteten a den kofanger fra schmiedmann kan den anbefaldes? mvh Pawel
Hej Pawel, jeg er fint tilfreds med kvaliteten. Næsten alle uoriginale kofangere i EU er lavet af det samme firma Goodgo i Taiwan. Kvalitet er god, men ikke perfekt. Pasformen er fin, men der få ting her og der som ikke er perfekte som låg til lygtevask ikke altid lukker perfekt til og måske nogle små gab mellem dele. Men på 1 meters afstand er det usynligt. Jeg vil anbefale at få grundet kofangeren på ny af maler. Da den grunder de bruger i Taiwan ikke er den bedste altid og måske ikke arbejder godt med den maling vi bruger her. Intet slår original BMW kvalitet, men til 1/3 del af prisen er det ikke et dårligt alternativ.
@@BMWORKZ Hejsa. Tusind tak for dit svar. Jeg vil tage kontakt til Schmiedmann syntes de har nogen rigtig gode priser på de produkter de sælger. Jeg har et pr spørgsmål mere er der en mulighed for jeg kan kontakte dig via mail,messenger eller andet?
venlig hilsen Pawel
Ser godt ud bmworkz , skal igang med samme proces på min 420i , er det et stort arbejde eller er det lige til ? :)
Mange tak :) Det meste er lige til. Jeg har lavet det hele selv og alt er bolte, møtrikker og skruer. Så hvis man har mod på det, så kan man lave det hele med simpelt værktøj. Derudover findes der mange gode guides her på CZcams, inden man springer ud i det :) Held og lykke med projektet.
hello bmworkz, saw a site selling bumpers like yours. my unit is 2018 420D gran coupe but its not one of their option. would you know which one i should pick? 430i, 430i grancoupe, 440 gran coupe?
Hello,
The front bumper is the same on all the models from 418d to 440iX. Just keep in mind to get the one with the correct options. Like if your 420d got parking sensors or headlight cleaning etc. You can choose a 430 gran coupe. Then all should fit your model.
What site was the after market kit purchased from? It looks great!
I got this kit from Schmiedmann - the brand of the bumper is Goodgo. Very common aftermarket bumper brand worldwide.
Can you change the back bumper also on this type of body? I’m trying to add a carbon fiber defuser but I need a m style back bumper wondering if it’s possible to
Install
Yes, I did that install on my BMW also. I did not make a video of it, but you can see some details in one of my former videos. Had stock bumper and now I have M-Sport bumper with M-performance diffuser and 440i look exhaust.
So there’s no fitment issues?
@@boosted440i9 No the rear was plug and play. Got a aftermarket kit with all the small stuff needed for fitment. It was easier to change than the front bumper.
How long did it took you to do the M conversion in the back?
Ciao amico, ho seguito la tua guida e mi è stata utile. I 2 sensori di parcheggio centrali, li ha messi al contrario, la parte che rientra deve stare sopra. A me funzionano in modo terribile in quel modo. Dovrò smontare tutto e girarli.
You are correct. I fitted the center two PDC's, upside down. The brackets need to be turned 180 degrees. My car did not have PDC, so it was only for filling the holes.
Hi, When I tried to install the M4 front bumper, the wheel archs were not matching with the bumper? You have the same issue ?
I did not have this issue. All my screws went in perfectly if I remember correctly. Could be the M4 bumper is made a bit different than the m-sport.
👌🤘🥳
Isnt that bar at the bottom for safety and to protect the intercooler incase of a accident ?
I would suggest to fit it with the lower bar. Just more work to do, as I show in the video. The lower bare is a reinforcement to the lower part of the bumper. The large crash bar is a lot bigger and higher up.
Hvor bor du henne af i landet? Jeg har lige købt en 420 - 2017 i hvid, men skal have eftermonteret en front som din der.. Er der noget du eventuelt kan klare?
Hej Jens,
Jeg er fra Trekantsområdet. Det er ikke noget jeg kan klare. Dette er har været et privat projekt. Men det er noget de fleste værksteder kan klare, medmindre du selv har mod på det :)

Where did you end up hooking the headlight washer units on the new bumper?? Mine didn’t come with clips to hook it to.
My bumper came with some mounts for the headlight washers. The mounts got glued on the bumper. Then the headlight washers just slide in and the covers are clicked onto the nozzle.
BMWORKZ thanks for the reply!
did you only need to purchase the bumper? anything else i should buy i have a 2016 428i gran coupe
I got a whole bumper kit with all the small plastic bits and grills included. Most aftermarket kits comes like that.
Can you help me find an M4 bumper that looks like this near me ?? I live in GA United States and I’m looking for a similar bumper with a reasonable price
Hello Christian, The bumper I have installed here is a replica M-sport bumper. If you seek an M4 bumper it will be a bit different in design. If you got an F3X 4-series, you will be able to install M-sport genuine or aftermarket, or a aftermarket M4 look bumper. The genuine M4 bumper needs new fenders, hood etc to fit.
The best source of parts would be Ebay or Amazon for you. I know of SOLO MOTORSPORTS in GA. Maybe they are able to help you out, if you need it installed/sourced by a shop.
does changing the bumper change any safety measures?
If installed correctly, then it is as good as before. Since you only change the plastic bumper and not the crash bars behind it.
I want to do this but my 4 series has the crash sensor up front and I’m not sure how I would be able to swap that over, does anyone know how I could do this? It’s in the grille
I can check the BMW official repair instructions. I am quite sure it is just a sensor you unclip and the fit onto the new bumper.
What does the crossbar you remove do for the car? Is it to protect from impacts?
The Crossbar is called a "Carrier, bumper, front bottom" by BMW. As I understand it is just a carrier for the lower part of the bumper. The impact bar sits higher up and is still there. The crossbar is just to add extra rigity to the lower part of the bumper.
@@BMWORKZ Thanks for the response. I was just worried about removing something important from the car just in case of impact. Once again thanks fornthe response. Quality content 👌🔥
looking for one for my 430i 2018 bmw coupe luxury version im from the united states cant find any tho
You should be able to find one easy. Since shipping is often expensive. You should look at a dealer near you. There are many big BMW aftermarket Dealers in the US. Turner Motorsport, ECS Tuning, EAS Tuning, Kies Motorsport, FCP EURO, Modbargins, IND-Distribution etc. They might not call it M-Sport due to trademarks. But maybe Sport bumper, M-Style, Motorsport etc.
hey man I really want to do this to my f32 where can I buy a good bumper ??
Well if you want an aftermarket bumper, most will be the same brand from Taiwan.
Depending on where you are from, there is a few dealers to choose from
I'm about to purchase a 2014 428i and I've never modded before but I feel like I need a better bumper, is this easy for beginners??
Yes it is a very easy job. Take your time and do it with a mate. Then it is pretty straight forward. All tools needed is regular tools, most will have. It just regular bolts, screws. No force needed.
BMWORKZ how much was that bumper ? I have that exact same car
I purchased a full kit with Front, rockerpanels, rear bumper etc. But you should be able to find just the front bumper kit for around 250-300 USD on Ebay, Amazon. The brand I got is called GoodGo and is one of the biggest bumper suppliers from Taiwan.
Do the ducts come with the bumper? Or do you buy that separately?
If you buy the bumper aftermarket you will most of the time get all parts you need for fitting. Also the ducts etc.
BMWORKZ thank you. I was just wondering because I bought one recently on amazon and it says direct OE replacement. So I don’t know if I still have to change the ducts or not
Hvor købte du denne kofanger ? Ser super godt ud
Den er købt hos Schmiedmann. Det er en uoriginal kofanger. Men den kan også fås originalt fra BMW, bare noget dyrere.
@@BMWORKZ fedt tak. Går samme vej med min F36…. Tænker at springe “prøvning” over inden maler, kunne også forstå på dig at den har en rigtig go pasform 😉
Where did u order the bumper from
The Bumper kit i got from Schmiedmann.com - The lip is made by Maxton Design. The bumper kit is made by Goodgo in Taiwan and can be sources many places :)
Did the bumper come painted?
The bumper came primed and had it color matched to the rest of my car at a local paintshop. That is the most common way to go about it. Since shipping painted parts is risky and may not match well.
Are the 4 series cars easy to maintain ?
Regular service and maintenance is just as any other car. They are pretty easy to keep going. Some engines got a few problems like any other brands. But if you read a bit about it, you will be able to say away from most issues and keep it running for many years.
I have driven mine 60.000 KM, only changed oil and filters twice. No issues or problems with it in those miles.
Yes
How mich closer is it to the ground than the stock bumper ?
I would say it sits about the same without the lip. The bumper does not go lower than the stock did. My car is lowered 25/20MM and with the lip I have not scraped once yet.
where did you get the bumper? link please
I got the whole kit Front, Rear and rocker panels. But if you only seek the front, then this is it: www.schmiedmann.com/en/product/1961467-new?product=FRF323336MOTPDC
This is the front splitter: www.schmiedmann.com/en/product/1991223-new?product=FRLF3XV2-MD
i need that for exportation plzzz
Most dealers can ship international. Just find one close to you and get a price.
What size are his rims ?
20” Breyton
What’s the link for the bumper?
Purchased a full kit with all the bumpers. Not only the front. So don’t have a link for the front only. But you should be able to get it anywhere. Best to purchase local, since shipping is crazy expensive
Where can I buy the bumper?
Try to find it local, kinda expensive to ship. Most places got replica m-sport kits.
Where did you guys buy this bumper I need one
Hello Kejon, These bumpers are mostly by the same manufacturer. I would suggest getting it local, since shipping for bumpers is quite high. You should be able to find these bumpers on both Ebay and the bigger Bimmer shops worldwide. Often they will not be called M-sport bumpers unless they are genuine BMW. Where are you from? Then i might be able to help you with a few known dealers.
Dude I'm in orlando
@@BMWORKZ I am from Jamaica. I got the after market m sport bumper but I don’t know which fender inner liner will fit. I have been searching for this information for months and nobody can tell me.
@@kejonftf Dear Kejon, I did not install any new fenderliner for the M-sport bumper? Are you installing it on a BMW F32 also? Some models like F10 needs new fender liner parts.
@@BMWORKZ yes a 428ixdrive F32.
Link for bumper ?
I got the whole kit Front, Rear and rocker panels. But if you only seek the front, then this is it: www.schmiedmann.com/en/product/1961467-new?product=FRF323336MOTPDC
